I have a freshly-installed Debian 3.1 (Sarge) machine.  I downloaded the
appropriate bootstrap and then the pkgsrc tree.  When running the
bootstrap, I get this:

Okay, that's lack of termcap it's complaining about.  So I did
"apt-get install termcap-compat", which seems to be the only way to get
termcap installed.  But still I get the same error.  What's wrong?
